Title: VFE Bumblebee
Post by: fair.child on March 03, 2019, 05:03:56 AM
Finally, got the Bumblebee boxed. This pedal rocks! I'm building one more for my buddy. The artwork is being done with transfer paper SunnyScopa Type B Film Free.

Looks great! How does it swell? Are you selling Bumblebee boards?

What's your opinion of the effect?  How well does it track for you?  I'd like to build one too.

Well, there's certain setup you need to do to get the swell. It's quite tricky but useful at the same time. However, I got my longest swell using  2N5952 at 1.6 Vgs. I remember the longest swell Vgs is between 1.4 to 1.6

I have Bumblebee on my Mega Pedal. I think it's a great tribute to have it standalone. The pedal itself is quite versatile and I really like the idea of Slow Gear Swell addition to it. IMHO, it's better than White Horse for what I need. Go build one for sure!
